It’s completely unacceptable that the drivers head made contact with the ground. If this happened on the road with no helmet, it would be fatal or at best a totally ghoulish, crippling injury.
@@RebuildRex ah ok, just from watching your video, to me it seems like a clear total, it’s way too messed up in too many places lol. Anyways nice video and thanks for the response man! And good luck if you gotta fix it!
Glad to see it in good hands, I saw his rollover video he posted after it happened. You've probably fixed more ND's and NC's than any other shop at least in this area!
If insurance is offering to replace the lights, I can't imagine why the owner would want to keep them. Is the insurance policy one where they just cover a percentage of costs or is it the typical "pay up to deductible and then insurance overs the rest" I wonder.
HA!!!!! I loved that Intro!! Interesting thing about Hagerty Insurance is that the MAX covered is $175,000 (no matter what the agreed value is - that's the limit to repair) - then they total the vehicle. That’s impressive really when you think about how much damage can be sustained. T-Rex was supervising those measurements at (8:31). HAHAHAHA!!!! That’s some TRUTH from O.D.B!! Always keepin' it real!
This mx5 suffered frame damaged or engine damage ? Because i heard the engine at the auction and sounds little different. do you recomend to fix for dayly use ?
The engine did run for a few minutes while it was upside down. Not sure if it hurt anything, seemed to run ok when it was at my shop. There was minor frame damage as well. Would probably make a good daily driver if repaired properly. Thanks for watching!
No sir, It is a Chief Tram Gauge that I’m not sure if they ever make any more. I think the MoClamp Tram Gauge is a very good option though. Thanks for watching.
Also, too slow with corrective steering. The Miata already rotates very quickly due to the short wheelbase. This gets exacerbated even further when you add in sticky tires. They have a higher "yield" limit, but when they do let go, they let go more rapidly than some hard all-seasons since you're working with much higher slip angle forces and such.
We do but I am booked up for the foreseeable future. The race teams are already calling me from the Daytona race and I really need to get done work done on my GTR. I can circle back to you when I get an opening in the shop.
@@RebuildRex I appreciate that. I can always plan ahead a good ways, and it's good that you are busy. Do you have a webpage or way I could reach out to you?
The tires where BFGoodrich g-Force Rival and had plenty of tread. I’ll have to ask him exactly what happened and get back to you. Thank you for watching!
He didn't counter steer fast enough to correct the slide. Then he added more steering while simultaneously backing off the throttle. This transfered weight to the front tires which were then turned way too far to the right. From there, it was all over. If he had instead realized he wasn't going to save it, and simply put both feet in, he would have slid straight or a little to the left and been fine.
In this case the hoops never touched the ground. The windshield pillars held up the car. I guess because the rollover was mild as far as rollovers go. Thanks for watching!!
He wasn’t hurt at all. I believe his head was on the ground because his belt wasn’t tight enough which let him hang upside down with his helmet touching the ground. It was a good thing that he didn’t get pinned in the car.
